Every time the Walrus returns to shore, he regales eager listeners with tales of his deep-sea encounters, earning him the moniker of ‘The Old Man of the Sea’. Perched attentively nearby are a group of Fairy Terns and Woodpeckers, their razor-sharp beaks poised to etch the tales into the thick blubber of the ancient mariner. A closer look reveals intricate engravings depicting a myriad of sea creatures, from majestic whales to elusive octopuses, meticulously crafted by the Fairy Terns.
Hovering above, more Fairy Terns meticulously polish the brass adornments of the Old Man’s Steampunk-inspired goggles and headpiece with seaweed scraps, adding a touch of gleaming brilliance to his ensemble. The detailed craftsmanship of these elements, particularly the delicate embossing of the headband and the clarity of the goggles’ lenses, stands as a testament to the artist’s skill and dedication.
Yet, not all encounters recounted by the Walrus are amicable, as evidenced by the sturdy bronzed bracket securing a fractured ivory tusk, hinting at past skirmishes with formidable adversaries. Additionally, the attentive observer may notice the Pileated Woodpecker diligently restoring a missing sapphire on the Walrus’s carving of a Giant Squid, showcasing the intricate details of both the artwork and the Woodpecker’s ornate armour.
Standing over a meter tall, ‘The Old Man of the Sea’ represents a monumental artistic endeavor, from the painstaking creation of intricate stencils to the meticulous painting process that spanned over two months. The meticulous attention to detail, from the Walrus’s bristles to the finely crafted engravings, epitomizes the artist’s unwavering commitment to his craft and the creation of this captivating masterpiece.
Our Fine-Art Prints come on two kinds of archival paper. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Medium’ size, we use 210GSM Fotospeed Smooth Art; a paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. Because our larger, more prestigious prints need to be more impactful, we use Fotospeed’s 315GSM NST. Thanks to the gentle texture and bright-white base of this 100% cotton, fine art paper, it consequently delivers a wide colour gamut. The Fine Art Trade Guild have also certified these two papers. In conjunction with our pigment-rich inks, we therefore deliver a lifetime’s worth of enjoyment!
